New: Watch the first 3 From Hell full-length trailer

3 From Hell Teaser

Rob Zombie had previously been counting us down to the first look at 3 From Hell. Coming to theaters in September 2019, Rob Zombie teased the below first look of his latest horror installment, 3 From Hell.

Featuring the returning cast of Sid Haig (Captain Spaulding), Bill Mosely (Otis), and Sheri Moon Zombie (Baby) alongside new additions of Richard Brake, Danny Trejo, Kevin Jackson, Jeff Daniel Phillips, and many more. 3 From Hell has an “R” rating and is hitting theaters in September of 2019.

In the summer of 2005, heavy metal artist-turned-horror director Rob Zombie shocked audiences with a follow-up to his cult independent film House of 1,000 Corpses by unveiling a new terrifying masterpiece titled, The Devil’s Rejects. Fourteen years later, this horror classic is getting a much-needed sequel and here is all you need to know about his much-anticipated film, Three From Hell!

When is Three From Hell coming to theaters?

Mark your calendars horror film fans because Rob Zombie has confirmed Three From Hell’s release to be in September 2019. With a release date so close, the film has officially been confirmed as being completed! That’s right it is “in the can” as Hollywood film insiders say. Filming on the horror thriller finished last year and Zombie has been fine-tuning the film to the perfect pitch that only horror fans can appreciate.

The Cast of Three From Hell

The sequel has officially been titled “Three From Hell.” For those familiar with The Devil’s Rejects (an absolute must see for any serious horror fan), the lead characters of Otis Driftwood (Bill Mosley), Baby (Sherie Moon Zombie), and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) met their presumed fates in a fierce, Freebird-themed gunfight with police. As the title somewhat implies, the trio has somehow returned and are back to seek vengeance with hellfire and fury! A leaked series of piecemeal photos and footage scraps leaked by Zombie show that the unholy trio may have to endure some sort of violent stint in prison for their sadistic crimes, however, Zombie has worked incredibly hard to keep the plot of his film under the strictest of wraps.

One of the more exciting points of Zombie’s previous films is the number of cameo and character actors who appear on the screen. Zombie is not only a horror cinephile but also a cinema historian in general, and he’s made sure to pack Three From Hell with some of Hollywood’s most memorable actors and actresses including Danny Trejo, Clint Howard, Dee Wallace, Richard Brake, David Ury, Sean Whalen, Richard Riehle, Barry Bostwick, and Chaz Bono, just to name a few!

Some fans have speculated at Zombie’s date of the film release approaching. Fans will be happy to know that the film has already been submitted and approved the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) with a hard “R-rating” for “strong sadistic violence throughout, adult language throughout, adult sexual content, and graphic nudity”. Horror fans can’t wait as Three From Hell debuts September 2019!

Where’s the Three From Hell Trailer?

Rob Zombie himself announced that the Three From Hell trailer is coming shortly on Facebook. How shortly? See below.

Update (6/10/19) – The first 3 From Hell Trailer is released. Watch the 3 From Hell Trailer on Youtube.

Rob Zombie’s upcoming film, 3 From Hell, is slated for release in 2019, and production of what is sure to be a bloody bash of gorey, dysfunctional family fun is well underway—following Zombie’s announcement that filming had begun on March 13 of this year, exclusive teasers, images, and more have been made available on Zombie’s site for a sneak-peek at the horror icon’s latest.

3 From Hell Plot Teasers

While details on the film’s plot are yet to be released, Zombie has been generous with the teasers. After a slew of images featuring the Firefly family and their nemeses were released on May 22, a character poster featuring Bill Moseley as Otis Driftwood was featured on June 20 and was soon followed by a similar poster featuring Danny Trejo as Rondo on June 26. Bloody Disgusting reports that while Danny Trejo is on-board with 3 From Hell, Diamond Dallas Page’s will not reprise his role as The Devil’s Rejects’ Bill Ray Snapper for a reunion of “The Unholy Two.”



So far, Zombie has confirmed that 3 From Hell is the sequel to 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects, which also served as “a sequel of sorts” to 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses, according to the official website for the musician and horror director. The series follows the psychopathic murder sprees of the Firefly family, as led by Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), his daughter Sheri Moon Zombie (Baby), Otis Driftwood (Bill Moseley), and Karen Black (Mother Firefly).

Although it seemed that the end of the Firefly family was imminent with the rain of fire from the police at the end of The Devil’s Rejects, the fates of Baby, Spaulding, and Otis are hinted at from Zombie’s teasers: Baby is seen leaving a courtroom following a “violent outburst,” a snapshot of Spaulding shows him being escorted to his cell and a distraught Otis pleas for the Three’s release with the media.

In tune with the growing hype, the “Free Baby” shirt featured in Baby’s courtroom/jailhouse teaser is now available for grabs on localboogeyman.com for $36 each, along with plenty of merch to quell the anticipation as we inch closer to Three From Hell’s yet-to-be-announced release date.

Regular Release Dates for 31

In case you don’t make the sneak peek, 31 will be releasing on VOD September 16, 2016 and in theaters October 21, 2016.

The anticipation behind Rob Zombie’s 31 is peaking as Zombie and Saban Films released 4 new character posters recently. With the Sept 16, 2016 VOD release date just under 2 months away and the theatrical release October 20th, fans who have patiently waited through a rating delay and a change in production houses are eager. The wait looks to be paying off as the new character art is revealed.

The premise of 31:

five carnival workers who are kidnapped the night before Halloween and held hostage in a large secret compound known as Murder World. Once there, they have 12 hours to survive a terrifying game called 31 in which “The Heads” – murderous maniacs dressed as clowns – are released to hunt them down and kill them.

See the new movie posters below for Rob Zombie’s 31 here.

Something tells me this will be one of those rare occasions you’re rooting for the carnies. Check out the poster art of Doom-Head, Psycho-Head, the playful Father Murder, and Charly played by the better half of the Zombie household.

Rob Zombie's 31 Movie Poster

With Rob Zombie’s new movie 31, and the upcoming remake of Stephen King’s IT, we thought we’d take the time to look at some of the scariest clown movies of all time. Why not 31 movies? Because in the world of funhouse mirrors and your worst nightmares, everything is turned around. People have been frightened by clowns for centuries. There is even a word for it: Coulrophobia.

While most real clowns are silly, there is just something sinister about clowns. Those smiles are fake and painted on. The more you stare, the more the face warps into something wicked. Clowns push what is rational and reasonable to the breaking point, and that alone is enough to fear them. Here is our list of the Top 13 Scary Clown Movies. I wonder where 31 will fall into this in the future.

1. Stephen King’s IT

Pennywise-the-clown-from-IT

I have very strong memories of this movie, and it quite possibly has one of the scariest clowns you’re ever going to come across. At least with most clowns, you don’t have to worry about them coming after you once the sun rises. This clown appeared in a dreary haze, like a daydream, and quickly turned your pleasant Sunday afternoon into a slice of pure Hell. Ultimately, this movie is frightening because of the overall message that you can’t escape your past, and when you finally realize you have “a past” to escape, it’s grown into a virtually undefeatable monster. One has to wonder wear the new Tim Curry-less IT remake will fall.

2. Poltergeist

Clown-from-Poltergeist

We all watched the original poltergeist knowing damn well that the freaky clown sitting on that chair was up to no good. We could have warned that poor kid, but he was too wrapped up in the tree outside to really pay attention. Before you know it, lightning strikes, the clown has been released, and its frighteningly soft-cloth-filled arms have him in a vice-grip from Hell.

3. Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Klowny-Killer-Clowns-From_outerspace

I’ll admit, the first time I saw this movie I thought I had suffered and survived an aneurysm. War of the Worlds has nothing on this movie. We all know if aliens come to Earth we’re essentially screwed. If they truly did their research, then it makes perfect and total sense that they would come as clowns. I mean, half the population would drop dead from fear, and the other half would simply lose their minds. Well, except the teenagers, they are always up for a good fight and will likely be the savior of us all in a real-life horror situation.

4. House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil’s Rejects

Captain-Spaulding

Sid Haig as Captain Spalding. That’s really all you need to know. He’s simply amazing in both films, and his nuanced performance while the two teens flee through the woods is mesmerizing. Captain Spaulding was rumored to have some influence on Rob Zombie’s new release, 31. Zombie denied it, but nonetheless, this is one clown you’ll likely end up rooting for in the end.

5. Gacy

John-Wayne-Gacy-The-Clown

There are few things as terrifying as a movie based on an actual, real-life serial killer who dressed up as a clown. John Wayne Gacy is one of America’s most sinister serial killers, and this movie reflects that.

6. Stitches

Stitches-the-clown

Think twice before you forget to tip the clown at your kid’s birthday party. This birthday clown came back from the dead with the intent of exacting its revenge on the kids he blames for his death.

7. All Hallow’s Eve

All-Hallow's-Eve-Clown

Where do we start? All Hallow’s Eve pulls out all the horror stops. Not only is there a homicidal clown named Art, but there is a VHS tape that won’t turn off, trick or treating gone horribly wrong, and deranged demons who perform c-sections! Did I mention the babysitter is having her worst night ever?

8. Clownhouse

Clown-from-Clownhouse

This one’s scary because there is a large dose of reality. It’s staged at a circus where Casey discovers his life is about to end from a fortune teller. The clowns do a good job setting the stage for disaster.

9. S.I.C.K. Seriously Insane Clown Killer

S.I.C.K.

This has some of the 31 flavor to it. A group of clowns hunts friends who are lost in the woods. It’s a seriously creepy movie, and the clown make-up really helps to reflect the evil clowns psychopathic tendencies.

10. Clown

Scary-Clown-from-Clown

This isn’t so much about a killer clown but a killer clown suit. What happens when the clown costume you put on for your son’s birthday party just won’t come off? Apparently it gives you a big appetite and the only thing that sounds good is small children. Did I mention this is produced by and stars the new king of horror, Eli Roth?

11. Zombieland

Clown-from-Zombieland

It’s not fair. Not only is this clown freakishly disturbing looking, it’s also a zombie. That’s a double-whammy that is enough to scare anyone away from visiting an amusement park or carnival during the zombie apocalypse.

12. Drive-Thru

Clown-from-Drive-Thru

If someone wanted to make a horror movie about Ronald McDonald, they could use this movie for references. Horny the Clown is the mascot for Hella Burger. What makes him most scary? The fact that he’s a vengeful clown spirit set upon killing his murderer’s kids.

13. 100 Tears

Clown-from-100-Tears

Okay, this is an independent release, and you likely haven’t heard of it. This doesn’t take away from the fact that Gurdy is an innocent man accused of rape. So, he does what any high-functioning psychopath in the making does. He goes on a murderous rampage of revenge but finds he simply can’t stop.

Rob Zombie’s 31 focuses on five carnies held hostage and forced to play a horrifying game called “31.” The goal of the game? Survive the night. All while sadistic clowns hack at their heels in a compound that resembles The Circus from Hell. It’s as if Rob Zombie physically entered my nightmares when conceiving this movie. Carnies, clowns, and total carnage ensue.

How Did Rob Zombie Come Up with the Name “31?”

The title 31 was chosen after Zombie found a statistic noting that Halloween is the most notorious day for mysterious missing person reports. Similar to the storyline of Nicholas Cage’s equally horrifying movie, Pay The Ghost, which adds absolutely nothing to this conversation, but does allow us to plug Nicholas Cage.

31 Rated “R”

This film is over-the-top horror, which is a good thing and something you expect from the creator of House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Although the film’s intensity did originally get 31 slapped with an NC-17 rating, Zombie was able to get it downgraded to rated R before the release. The MPAA notes that the film had “sadistic graphic violence, bizarre sexuality/nudity, pervasive disturbing images, and some strong language.” This leaves us awaiting the director’s cut. For the art of course!

Zombie told a fan on Facebook, that the “Zombie Cut” would eventually be released on DVD.

Clown Hell

The crazed clowns are all given “head” monikers and have creative names like Sex-Head, Schizo-Head, Sick-Head, Psycho-Head, and Death-Head. For the first time in my life, I find myself rooting for the carnies. The evil clowns are remarkably deeper characters than you’d expect. The opening scene with Doom-Head leaves you with a sense that there may be something more to his character and the movie.

Of course, it all goes to Hell once the blood-lust commences. 31 nicely touches on the struggle of a psychotic killer clown’s state of mind. Or, at the very least, the mindset that any psycho (John Wayne Gacy comes to mind) who would put on clown make-up to kill their victims would assume. After all, who has time for philosophical thoughts and musings when you’re looking for the best way to kill your victims?

31 is a great, horrifying, terrifying, intense, scary clown movie that is a perfect addition to the Rob Zombie horror portfolio. It’s fun, has brains, some heart, and gory humor spliced in along the way. It’s a Grindhouse movie, and few do that better than Rob Zombie.
